KSOA has launched our new initiative, the Printmakers' Collective!

This is for artists who love the hands-on art of printmaking! We welcome moderate to highly familiar printmakers to make use of our printmaking space and choose the direction that the collective goes. If you have completed a KSOA printmaking class, ask us about joining as well and we can get you ready and set to create flexibly and on your schedule.

On purchase we will send you a form to fill out, you must have printmaking experience to join the Collective. If you are new to printmaking, consider joining our open studio, now enrolling, or in one of our printmaking course offerings!

Ready to start? More details are available on our website.

NEW FEBRUARY-START COURSE!

This class runs Tuesdays, 10am - 12pm
Starting February 17th - March 10th 2026

Unlock your inner creative being with stress-relief and self-reflective art activities.

One of the ways that you can tap into creativity and connect it to your emotions is to explore the process of creating versus focusing on the end product, which you can do with therapeutic art activities. By the end of this course, participants will have practiced some activities that will help them with stress-relief and find some unique ways to incorporate more self-reflection and expression. No artistic skill required.

NEW FEBRUARY-START COURSE!

This six-week introductory course explores three distinct printmaking techniques - linoleum relief, drypoint, and monoprinting - highlighting the expressive and technical range of each. Students will develop aesthetic awareness, craftsmanship, and technical skill while experimenting with colour, texture, collage, stencils, and found materials.

Through guided projects, participants will design, carve, and print lino blocks, explore multi-colored and hand-coloured methods, and complete an edition of prints. The course also introduces the spontaneity of monoprinting, using coloured inks on plexiglass plates to create unique, one-of-a-kind images and ghost prints.
